Los Olivos raid

The Los Olivos raid occurred on 2 December 1993 when the Search Bloc raided the Los Olivos neighborhood of Medellin, Colombia after Lieutenant Hugo Martinez Jr. reported that he had a visual of a bearded Pablo Escobar. Twelve Search Bloc policemen, including DEA agent Steve Murphy, headed to the scene, and they breached the building with a ram as Escobar was talking to his wife over the radio and giving her a statement to issue to the press about his unwillingness to surrender. Escobar and his chauffeur Jhon Burgos both shot at the policemen during the ensuing gun battle, killing three policemen. Burgos was shot through the chest by police as Escobar and Burgos began to run on the rooftops, and Sergeant Sarmiento fired a lethal sniper's bullet into Escobar's chest. Escobar was shot two more times by Murphy and Search Bloc officer Trujillo, and he lay dying on the rooftop. Trujillo delivered the final shot to his head, killing Pablo Escobar.
